i balanced six state budgets as the governor of the state of texas. we worked to create the best job creation environment in america. i'm a social conservative who has defended traditional marriage and protected the unborn children, including signing a budget that defunded planned parenthood. >> woodruff: michele bachmann was making ten stops on her own bus tour of the state. the minnesota congresswoman was using the week in a last attempt for momentum. she's dropped from the spotlight since winning the iowa straw poll back in august. newt gingrich also had his moment as frontrunner in iowa. but has since fallen back. in dubuque today, he played up his record as speaker of the house in the 1990s, dealing with then-president clinton. >> i was effective. i actually got the deal done. so it wasn't 112% pure. but it worked. we had a liberal democrat decide welfare reform, we had a liberal democrat deciding tax cut. we had a liberal democrat sign four balanced budgets. i think that's pretty effective conservatism. >> woodruff: the man now sharing the lead

amarillo, texas, has had more snowen this this season than fargo, chicago, buffalo, and green bay. but the northeast has seen the biggest climate change. meteorologist mike halpert points to the weather phenomenon called the north atlantic oscillation, a mass of air over greenland which controls wind pattern and storm tracks. when it's in its positive phase-- as it is now-- the jet stream is high, keeping the cold air north, preventing that air from falling south into the united states. only 32% of the northeast is covered by snow. last year was just the opposite. 84% of the northeast was a blanket of snow because the north atlantic oscillation was in the negative phase. >> when it's in the positive phase, more often than not we'll have milder-than-average days. it certainly doesn't rule out some briefer periods of cold weather. >> reporter: if skiers stay away christmas week, schroetel estimates his resort could lose $2 million and his losses could deepen. forecasts indicate warmer-than-usual temperatures east of the rockies through march. michelle miller, cbs news, macungie, penn
